0x2B03

0x2B03 is a hexadecimal notation commonly used in computing to represent a numeric value. The prefix 0x indicates base-16, so the hexadecimal value 2B03 equals the decimal number 11011. In software development, such literals can serve as integers, constants, bitmasks, or data values within source code, configuration files, and network protocols. The exact interpretation of 0x2B03 depends on the surrounding context, including data types, endianness, and protocol specifications.

In text encoding, 0x2B03 can be read as a Unicode code point U+2B03. This code point resides in the Unicode block known as Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows (range U+2B00 to U+2BFF). The glyph associated with U+2B03 is a symbol rendered by fonts, and its exact appearance may vary between typefaces. The Unicode standard assigns a formal name to the code point, but actual rendering depends on the font and rendering system.

Historically, hex literals like 0x2B03 appear across many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. They are essential for low-level programming tasks such as bitwise operations, memory addressing, and binary data processing, where precise control over individual bits and bytes is required.

As with many hexadecimal codes, the meaning of 0x2B03 is context-dependent. Without a specific standard or application, it is primarily a numeric literal and, when interpreted as a Unicode code point, a symbol reference within text encoding.
